I'm the same and both of you I always think oh god imagine if this happened and il play the image out in my head! Then I'm like why am I thinking like for but I can't stop myself x

I have anxiety I'm supposed to be on medication but stopped while pregnant. Sounds a bit like me, I get chewed up and feel sick over nothing most of the time I don't know why and also get scenes going through my head then I'm like wtf why am I thinking like this. I don't feel like that about something happening myself it's more my kids or others i love. Dunno I feel cracked up most days xx

In october i felt sick constantly aswel for about 6 weeks ..was worried i was pregnant at one point but have a coil so was unlikely but had constant sick feeling not nice .. xx

I've deffo lost my appetite in the last few weeks cos of constantly feeling sick, but I've forced food down to make sure that I eat. I'm definitely going to the doctors soon as I can xx

Sorry forgot to say the dr told me its rumative thoughts & aniexty. I also have mild depression which comes and goes ..xx

Forgot to say i have bad thoughts like that .. i didnt wanna send my little boy nursery incase he choaked there ! Competely random thought . We was going a panto a few weeks ago anf i suddenly thiught wow what if we crash on the motorway n started thinking should i go ?? N also worry ill get sick on big events ive been worried what if im sick for christmas or my kids are and i am ill but not ill like sickness ill but feel slightly sickly so a bit worried !! .. some days im a bit afraid to go out incase something bad happens ! So feel very simlar to u xx

You should go the drs if you lose a lot of weight suddenly without a reason . But the other thing about constantly feeling sick . When i was little i was terrified of being sick to the point id refuse to go in cars i wouldnt go swimming with school incase i got car sickness id have a bucket next to me constantly because i constantly felt sick !!! All the time.. but the dr said i was literally worrying my self sick and the aniexty and stress was making me feel sickly all the time . Id hardly eat incase i was sick n i did grow out of it . Also i get bad mirgaines and i have problems with my eyes they are the wrong shape or something so focusing is hard for me and go dizzy looking at screen to long . But definitely go drs if u lost a lot of weight . If u feel sick all the time have u got lost appetite a bit ? Xx

What about anxiety? Have you spoke to your GP? Xx

Definitely go chat to your doctor, there are a few options available to you.

Four years ago my OH was being bullied by a new manager at his work. He wasn't sleeping, having chest pains, constantly snapping at me, spending all his spare time playing total war on his computer. Eventually his dad took him to the GP, he was signed off work for a few weeks and started counselling.

During this time his nans both died, then he was made redundant and successfully sued the company for unfair dismissal. This was resolved the day before our wedding.

In his case, there was a clear work based trigger for the negative feelings and being out of the company was all he needed to get better.

I developed really bad anxiety during my pregnancy, I would panic that she wouldn't survive the birth or the cord would be wrapped around her neck, what would happen if everything started while OH was at work etc.

After Bethany arrived I'd be in tears because she wouldn't sleep, then half an hour later I'd be panicking because she was asleep and was scared she wouldn't wake up.

I was too scared to ask for help because the anxiety made me think they'd take Bethany away from me. I eventually got help just after her first birthday, when the anxiety triggered depression and I wanted to hurt myself.

I had antidepressants for 6 months, and they helped me a lot. I only managed to start talking to my OH about my feelings after talking to the HV and GP, I needed that impartial third party first.

Thanks everyone. I just wish the thoughts would leave my head it's driving me up the wall!! We have friends over tonight and I'm so worried I never worry about people being over but I just can't shake it off! I can't wait for xmas to be done to see the doctors! X

I can really sympathise with the sickness thing. I am exactly the same. Me and my daughter had a bug a few weeks ago - she's 2 and it's the first time she's had one and I hadn't been sick in years before that and like you, I coped surprisingly well but then spent the next week bleaching things and worrying that my oh was going to get it. Every time we go to a playgroup or to friends, I spend the next couple of evenings sitting thinking 'I hope she's not picked up a sickness bug'. Or if a child in my class is sick, i will spend days feeling like I'm going to catch it. My oh has a go at me for being dramatic and tells me that I can't live my life panicking about sickness - I've been trying to rationalise more since having that bug by thinking 'realistically what's the worst that will happen? We feel like s*** for a few days.' I don't really have any suggestions but just to let you know you're not the only one! X

Definitely get your thyroid levels checked. I lost loads of weight when mine went overactive. I could feel my heart racing and I was hyperactive and I'd get out of breath really easily. My friend had it too and hers manifested with anxiety and she wouldn't take the meds she was convinced the doctors were wrong. It was only after a long chat with her and her husband that she agreed to take her meds just for a few days and see how she felt. Luckily she started to get better and continued with her meds and she's fine now.

It's called 'hypothetical worries' classic in people suffering with anxiety.

This is me all day every day.

I'm thinking what if marcie doesn't eat at this time then she won't eat her dinner and then she might have a bad night. Then what if she wakes up too early that day then she'll be too tired for what we have planned then we might have to miss it... oh I could go on.

I have to take a step back and take each hurdle as they come.

I find writing my worries down and reflecting on them really helps then I can see how irrational some of them are. I set aside 'worry time' when things get really bad. That's time for me to just worry then hopefully get it all out so I won't worry so much if at all later.

My medication helps allot to keep me calmer but obviously that's your choice.

I'm glad you're seeing your gp.

You can do this hun.

Big hugs xxx

Sounds like an anxiety disorder to me, it can be linked to hormones and make you feel very poorly. It's very common but you're exhibiting a lot of the same symptoms I had when I suffered from it. A low dose ssri sorted it out. :) I would go see a doctor and have a chat.

You're deffo no weirdo. Some cbt may help it's about changing how your mind thinks it's not for everyone but I've known a lot of people benefit from it xx

There is nothing that you have said that I haven't heard 100x over from my mum or oh. Your deffo not a weirdo for feeling like that. I hope you get to the bottom off it ? have a lovely Christmas with your family xxx

I'm the same I'm scared to take pills I've not had incase I don't like how they make me feel. I just feel like a weirdo now I've let it all out and read it! I do get these thoughts constantly what if this happens what if that happens ect... deffo gonna go to the doctors. Thanks xxx

I think you should see a doctor Hun. They won't force pills onto you if you really don't want them. There's counselling so you can talk to someone and have a good cry. My mums on pills and she's not the same person but my oh doesn't take anything for his anxiety because he gets anxious about taking pills incase the kill him ? everyone's different. Xx

Thanks hun. I just think weird things like what if I was here and I was sick what would I do!? And like earlier sat in the car my oh was outside the car talking to his friend, on his friends drive way and I thought omg what if I needed to be sick now where would I do it! I looked over to a tree and thought there?? Silly things like that pop into my head all the time! It's deffo getting worse! If I'm home it's prob not as bad unless I know I'm going somewhere then I worry what if I feel sick when I'm there or I am sick?? What is all this??

I'm scared of feeling sick and being sick which has also given me fear or diarrhea too.

Wednesday just gone I had my first sickness bug in 8 years!!! And I actually coped fine! I was sick once and didn't panic cos I was so glad it was before xmas day! Now my big fear is my kids and oh get it tomorrow or xmas day!! I'm just so lost right now! My anxiety has been up and down since I had my son 8.5 years ago. And I feel it's worst now than it has been for a long time. I'm getting married in 111 days and I'm not excited I'm scared of having a bug that day or feeling sick all day cos it will ruin it for me! I'm also dreading trying my dress again cos I look stupid all skin and bones! No boobs what so ever! Sorry for rambling x

Hey Hun. Join the anxiety club. Firstly when u feel like this hv u remembered to breathe? Sounds silly to say but I forget then I think oh god I'm gonna die I ain't breathing n then my body n mind go into fight or flight mode. I hv had cognitive therapy and it helped me massively. I was diagnosed with OCD. Many people rhink OCD is cleaning having things in order etc n ye it is but OCD also is very intrusive thoughts do u hv fear of being sick or thoughts of awful things Happening to? I'd highly recommend going bk to gp and getting bloods and obs done. In mean time when u feel this way u need to count to 10 loudly and breath in for 5 out for 5 slow ur breathing and focus on the out x I hope U get sorted love you hv my every sympathy xxx ur welcome to message me if u need chat. Xx

I've not been to the doctors for ages. I had cbt counseling for sickness phobia when I was pregnant with Isabella who now nearly 2. I do have anxiety but about so many different things it's hard to explain. I feel like even typing this message to fast is hurting my eyes and making my head hurt! Sounds ridiculous to me! I think after xmas need a doctors appointment but just dunno where to start with what I say! Feel like they will just pass me some pills and send me on my way xx

Do you have anxiety? Have you been to the doctors about it? Anxiety can affect a lot of things, it's not just about being scared it's so much more than that. It can make you dizzy, panicky, ill, sweaty, you can lose weight and it can affect you socially. My mum and partner both have anxiety and they have different problems with it. Maybe go see your doctor. Hope you feel better soon. X

Have you had your thyroid and iron levels tested?

When my iron is low I feel confused and anxious. I had an inner ear infection leading to vertigo and the dizziness and sickness you mention. Meant I didn't want to eat etc xx

No I deffo don't think I'm pregnant. I've had a period and taking my pill also it really had sex x

Have you done a pregnancy test ? X
